How can we test the performance on SPARC between programs built with these compilers? Have you some references about this issue?

How does that sound? In what you propose, we still use g++ on the very platform which has a performance issue and with SS on the platform where g++ doesn't. Why not go with g++ on all platforms in this case? Maintenance wise is less complex, isn't it? -- Peter _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers .:: This mailing list's archive is public. ::.
